We had a busy year! If you haven't already, join us in 2023. You can save and donate your packaging materials OR receive gently used materials to reuse them.

Last weekend, EcoShip diverted 112.5 pounds of packaging materials from landfills. These items will head to businesses and individuals for reuse. On top of that, we helped secure 5-months worth of materials for Care for Friends. #reuse #SmallBusiness #nonprofit

Every day, Amazon ships out 1.6 million packages. Unfortunately, because most of the packaging is not curbside recyclable, it ends up in a landfill. EcoShip aims to divert as many items as we can. They head to other businesses or individuals for reuse. #amazonproblems #shopsmall

January was a busy one! We've diverted all these items from landfills and they'll be soon reused by others. #packaging #reuse #nonprofit

In honor of Women’s Month, we wanted to take the time to thank all the women that have been a part of EcoShip’s journey. You’re making a huge difference and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. #WomensHistoryMonth #womenruntheworld

♻️ Recycle up these paper mailers. 🚫 The bubble kind is not recyclable curbside, but IS 100% reusable! ✂ If you can't #reuse or donate, drop for in-store #recycling. 🗑️ Got the bubble-lined kind? Either donate, reuse, or trash. 💚 Got lots, #Chicago? Donate EcoShip Chicago!

About 92% of the mailers that get donated to us are Amazon mailers. They’re not impossible to recycle,but there aren’t enough companies that recycle or upcycle LDPE or HDPE. So what’s the solution? #recycling #amazonproblems

Thank you SailGP for having us this past weekend! We had a blast building boats out of recycling and educating folks about single-use plastic. Can’t wait to be back. #sailgp #sailgpusa #sailing #nonprofit #chicagobased
